| Since moving to Nashville from Hull (no, not here in UK, but a small town just outside Athens, Georgia!) to study Songwriting and Music Business at Belmont University, Mackenzie Carpenter has become one of music city’s most successful rising stars and in demand writers with her songs cut by artists including Megan Moroney and Lily Rose.
It is now time for Mackenzie to shine as an artist in her own right. Signed to Big Machine and having released a well-received EP and multiple singles, her long-awaited debut album “Hey Country Queen” is out this now via The Valory Music Co. And the thirteen tracks (which unsurprisingly Mackenzie has all co-written, and just look at the calibre of her collaborators on the track listing below!) are a really fantastic showcase of her talents. Like the country queens who have inspired her journey and paved the way, she is not afraid to “tell it like it is”, drawing on her experiences and observations to craft some very relatable songs. The album is a fabulous mix of the fun and catchy alongside more heartfelt ballads, and vocally Mackenzie delivers every time. Her fun side is immediately evident from the first two tracks, “Dozen Red Flags” and the flirty “Boots On” (anyone else get Buddy Holly “Not Fade Away” vibes from the rhythm section of this one? Am I showing my age?). I must say that when I first heard the album opener I was immediately obsessed, and I loved how the title itself was a clever twist on the familiar romantic gesture of a dozen red roses. Written with her frequent collaborator/multi instrumentalist/producer Brandon Hood and songwriting royalty Nicolle Galyon, it will no doubt resonate with many and I envisage it being a big sing-along song at shows. Who hasn’t at some point been blinded by love so much that they ignore the numerous warning signs telling them to run a mile (for me anyone who “don’t like my dog” would hopefully be dumped immediately regardless of whether he was “cute” and “funny!”). And can we take a moment to appreciate the gloves in the accompanying video! No wonder that the album is to be released on red vinyl. 01 Dozen Red Flags |
